Meanwhile Back at the Ranch

The last we heard  rom our erstwhile hero. his K 1 file was sitting at the Manila Embassy waiting for an interview when he suddenly got lost in the Covid Zone. After languishing for over two years in the Covid Zone, our hero had one of those light bulb thought clouds appear, Great idea, said he. Our hero and his beloved got married in Aug 2021 in an online service that had already been recognize by the Philippine government. The logic was that according to the Feds literature, the fact that their  I129F had been approved before their  I 130 would make this a  K 3 visa and his beloved would be allowed entry while the I 130  was being processed. Alas. this did not happen and heir I 130 processed normally. Not long after their case arrived  at the NVC, a request to expedite was finally approved and the case sent to the Embassy.  An interview was finally scheduled for Mar 22, 202 3. The interview went well  but a 221g was issued. with outrageous demands. They wanted the birth certificates of all of her children who were not immigrating They also ante an   ID issued prior to 2004. They wantwd a 2021 tax transcript. I do not   have taxable income so do not file taxesye my income is enough to meet the requirements. They were  hinting at a co sponsor.  We submitted the req uired documents and were issued another 221g. Now they wanted a CENOMAR for both my beloved  and the father of her children along with his birth certificate. Finally, just two weeks before I was scheduled to fly home, her visa was approved and arrived the next day. I was able to book  her  on my flight. Then up came the subject of the PDOS. We discovered she was exempt due to age but still hd to go through the GCP. Online registration indicated the first availability of Aug 1, after my flight home. My beloved was having none of this and we drove to Manila to discover she was able to do a walk in, same day registration. She got her certificate that day. I want to thank the staff of Oregon Congressman Cliff Bentz, who helped      push me through all the B.S.
